Looking back - January 2014

 

I started the month (01/04/14) testing a bothersome glute muscle in a close race with Mike Quintal at the weekly Fudgesicle race in Tewksbury.

    1 Michael Qunital    1/7   35 M3039 N Andover MA   18:48  6:04
    2 Dave Dunham      1/4   49 M4049 Bradford   MA   18:50  6:04
    3 Liam Skinner        2/4   47 M4049 LOWELL   MA   19:25  6:15

 

The next day I hosted a snowshoe race at Maudslay state park (I did this kind of stealthily as I did not have permission so technically it was just a “group run”.  I got a nice turnout but ended up running most of the race entirely alone.  After the race most of the group joined me for another 5k loop to pick up the flagging.

The last two weekends were snowshoe races, Whitaker Woods snowshoe (01/18/14) (fast packed snow) and the Sidehiller (twice around the 2 mile loop of the fairground – 01/26/14).  Sidehiller had a deep field as many were attempting to qualify for snowshoe nationals.
